Chapter 903 Full of Confidence
As time went by, Xiaoyu and Xiaoxuan gradually grew up, and their English level has reached a fairly high level. Not only did they rank among the top in the English exams in school, they also participated in some English competitions outside of school and achieved good results. These results brought them one step closer to their dream of studying abroad.
Finally, on a sunny day, Xiaoyu and Xiaoxuan received admission letters from famous foreign schools. Qi Tongwei and his wife were so excited that tears welled up in their eyes when they looked at the letters in their hands. They knew that their children's years of hard work had finally paid off, and they were about to embark on a new journey to pursue their dreams.
On the day when Xiaoyu and Xiaoxuan were leaving to study abroad, all the villagers in Xiangyang Village came to see them off. With blessings and expectations, they watched these two energetic teenagers leave their hometown. Qi Tongwei hugged the children tightly and told them to study hard and take good care of themselves.
Xiaoyu and Xiaoxuan, with their bags on their backs and a vision of the unknown world, set off on a long journey. The plane flew through the blue sky and white clouds, and they looked out the window at their hometown that was gradually receding, with mixed feelings in their hearts. This was the first time they left their familiar land and went to a distant and unfamiliar country, where there was the palace of knowledge they had always dreamed of, as well as countless unknown challenges.
After arriving abroad, they quickly immersed themselves in the intense study life. The school brought together outstanding students from all over the world, and different cultural backgrounds collided and blended here. While Xiaoyu and Xiaoxuan were amazed at the multiculturalism, they also felt huge competitive pressure. The difficulty of the course was far beyond their imagination. The all-English teaching environment and the vast amount of professional knowledge made them a little overwhelmed at the beginning.
But these two teenagers have the unyielding spirit of Xiangyang Village people in their bones. Xiaoyu majored in physics. In order to understand a complex physics experiment, he often stayed in the laboratory for a whole day, repeatedly debugging instruments and analyzing data. Once, he encountered a difficult problem in the experiment and had no idea for several days. He was anxious and even began to doubt his ability. However, whenever he thought of the expectant eyes of his parents in his hometown and the blessings of the villagers, he cheered up again. He consulted a lot of literature and asked professors and classmates for advice. After countless attempts, he finally successfully solved the problem. At that moment, his heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.
Xiaoxuan chose biological sciences. In order to complete a paper on the genetic research of rare plants, he often shuttled between the library and the laboratory. Once, he needed to go deep into the mountains to collect samples of a special plant. The journey was long and dangerous. His classmates retreated because of fear, but Xiaoxuan did not give up. He carried heavy equipment alone and walked along the rugged mountain road, overcoming the bad weather and steep terrain along the way. When he finally collected the sample, the joy in his heart was beyond words.
Living abroad is not only stressful, but also troublesome due to cultural differences. During a social activity organized by the school, Xiaoyu and Xiaoxuan made some jokes during the communication because they did not understand the local customs and habits, which attracted strange looks from their classmates. This made them a little depressed and felt that they were out of tune with the surrounding environment. But they quickly adjusted their mindsets, took the initiative to understand the local culture, participated in various cultural exchange activities, and tried to integrate into this new environment. They also met some like-minded friends, studied and discussed together, and shared the culture and life experiences of different countries with each other. Gradually, they no longer felt lonely and unfamiliar.
As time went by, Xiaoyu and Xiaoxuan made remarkable progress in their studies. Xiaoyu's research results in the field of physics attracted the attention of the school. One of his papers on quantum physics was published in an international academic journal and received high praise from experts in the industry. Xiaoxuan also made a name for himself in biological sciences. A scientific research project he participated in successfully cultivated a plant variety with special resistance to diseases and pests, providing new ideas for solving food security issues.
However, during their time abroad, they missed their hometown all the time. Whenever they encountered difficulties and setbacks, every detail of their hometown would come to their mind. The mountains and rivers of their hometown, the smiles of their relatives, and the enthusiasm of the villagers all became the motivation for them to persevere. They would call home regularly to tell their parents about their studies and life. Hearing their parents' familiar voices would ease their longing for their hometown a little.
In the remote Xiangyang Village, Qi Tongwei and his wife are always concerned about their children abroad. Every day they pay attention to the weather and news in the countries where their children are, and worry about what difficulties their children may encounter. Whenever they receive a call from their children, their faces are filled with happy smiles. Qi Tongwei will share the changes in the village with the children, telling them that the village has newly built irrigation facilities and the harvest of farmland is better; his wife will remind the children to take care of their health and eat on time.
Other villagers in the village are also always concerned about Xiaoyu and Xiaoxuan. The elders will get together in their spare time to talk about the two children's life abroad. They are proud of their achievements and look forward to their early return. Young friends will write letters to Xiaoyu and Xiaoxuan, telling them interesting things in the village and sharing their own lives.
In their fourth year of studying abroad, Xiaoyu and Xiaoxuan welcomed an important academic exchange event - the International Academic Innovation Competition. This is a stage that brings together the world's top young scholars. To stand out in this competition is not only a high recognition of personal academic ability, but also opens up a broader path for future academic development. Xiaoyu and Xiaoxuan signed up without hesitation, knowing that this is a rare opportunity and a huge challenge.
Xiaoyu and Xiaoxuan made great efforts to prepare for this competition. Xiaoyu combined his research in quantum physics to design a project on the application of quantum computing in energy transmission optimization. He studied day and night, constantly improving the project plan, and even thought about how to improve the algorithm in his dreams. Xiaoxuan focused on the application research of biological gene editing technology in the protection of endangered species. He consulted a large number of domestic and foreign literatures, discussed repeatedly with his mentor and team members, and conducted countless experiments.
The day of the competition finally arrived, and outstanding contestants from all over the world gathered together. The atmosphere was tense and warm. Xiaoyu and Xiaoxuan stood on the stage, and although they were a little nervous, their eyes were full of confidence.
